Chapter 980: Fang Yiai adds insult to injury
His Majesty Li Er was still angry, but he did not get angry at Chu Suiliang again.
It is true that he has a strong temper, but it is not a character that takes anger out on others. What is wrong with this is that Wei Zheng has evil intentions and is ungrateful. He ignored my humility and forbearance to him for so many years and actually disgusted me even before he died. It is really abominable!
Chu Suiliang didn't tell anyone about the matter, which was understandable. He remembered that Chu Suiliang was recommended to him by Wei Zheng in the past, and when he saw that his calligraphy skills were no less than Yu Shinan's, he gradually used him more.
Wei Zheng was acquainted with Chu Suiliang. Chu Suiliang was willing to betray Wei Zheng easily but repeatedly dissuaded Wei Zheng until Wei Zheng changed his mind. The merits and demerits can be offset by the merits.
His Majesty Li Er had an angry look on his face, patted the table and said: "Here comes someone!"
Two imperial guards trotted into the hall, waiting for the emperor's orders.
"Hurry and call Wei Zheng to me. I want to ask him carefully. Have you ever treated him poorly over the years? Why do you treat me so lightly?"
"No!"
The two guards responded, turned around and left.
Chu Suiliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His Majesty finally stopped holding him accountable. It was okay to call Wei Zheng. According to Wei Zheng's temper, Li Er got angry. The two of them would fight head-on and neither would accept the other. Not only would Wei Zheng not say anything, The reason why he changed his mind was that he even said that he wanted to pass on the manuscript.
In this way, I finally landed safely...
"Wait!"
After one person shouted something, the two guards arrived at the door, looked back, and stopped hesitantly.
Chu Suiliang looked up and saw that it was Fang Jun who had been silent all this time, shouting at the guards to stop him.
It happened that Fang Jun was also looking at him, and their eyes met. Chu Suiliang suddenly noticed an intriguing smile on Fang Jun's serious dark face, and his heart sank. This little bastard has always been at odds with him, so why don't he try to cause trouble?
After thinking about it in my heart, I couldn't think of any connection between this matter and Fang Jun, so I felt relieved again.
His Majesty Li Er scolded Fang Jun displeasedly: "This matter has nothing to do with you, just stay aside, lest I deal with you too!"
Chu Sui's conscience became increasingly uncomfortable.
Your Majesty's words sounded very stern and unceremonious, but they also showed an extraordinary closeness. This Fang Jun was indeed Jian's favorite person in the emperor's heart. In the eyes of outsiders, I, the most famous person around His Majesty, was nothing compared to him. What?
Fang Jun was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty does not know something, this matter really has something to do with the humble minister."
His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a moment: "What does it have to do with you?"
Fang Jun said with a smile: "Yesterday Weichen returned to Lishan Farm and happened to meet Zheng Guogong who was offering incense to fulfill his vows. They had a good chat in the small shop in the village. Zheng Guogong said that he was poor and asked Weichen for a piece of fine sandalwood. As a birthday gift, Wei Chen naturally couldn't refuse it, and also gave Zheng Guogong a poem."
His Majesty Li Er snorted: "Is that old man worthy of someone writing a poem to flatter him?"
The words were spoken rudely, but the tone was not bad.
Fang Jun then said: "Guan Chengzi has no habit of eating meat, and Brother Kong Fang has a letter of severance..."
Read the poem again.
Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er frowned and said: "Brother Kong Fang is referring to copper coins. What is this Guanchengzi?"
Fang Jun had no choice but to tell the lie again, wondering if he could remember how much of "The Biography of Mao Ying" was enough to take the time to write it out? Otherwise it will be difficult to tell lies!
Chu Sui thought silently in his conscience and sighed secretly, Fang Jun's poetic talent is indeed extraordinary, I am not as good as me. After sighing for a while, I suddenly wondered, why are you writing poetry at this time? Show your talent?
After all, he is a resourceful person, and he suddenly understood after just thinking about it for a moment.
This guy is trying to clear Wei Zheng's name!
Sure enough, His Majesty Li Er pondered for a long time and snorted: "Is that old man really so poor that he can't even afford a life gift?"
The anger has been reduced a lot.
In any case, Wei Zheng has been in the center for many years, and it is nothing to say that he is powerful. In his old age, he can't afford a good longevity material. The fact that he is as clean as water is worthy of admiration.
Everyone is selfish, and it is not easy to stick to the bottom line for many years in the face of gold, silver, and silk.
No matter, since the old man also knew that his actions were ungrateful and ungrateful, so he changed his mind in time and finally had no consequences, let's let him go. The old man is going to die anyway, and he has endured him for half his life, so why should he care about this last moment?
Fang Jun felt the change of heart of His Majesty Li Er. In the final analysis, His Majesty the Emperor cares about his reputation the most. It is best now. Wei Zheng did not expose his manuscript records, and His Majesty Li Er's image is still good. Between the emperor and his ministers, The story can still be passed down through the ages, and it can be said that everyone is happy.
Fang Jun glanced at Chu Suiliang and said to His Majesty Li Er: "Wei Chen and Zheng Guogong had a very pleasant conversation, and they also said something off-topic. Now that I think about it, it is a bit inappropriate."
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows: "Huh? What else did you say?"
Chu Suiliang's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
Fang Jun chuckled and said: "Wei Chen told Duke Zheng, 'The leopard dies and his skin is left, and the dead leave his name. That's why everyone in the world cherishes his reputation, even more than his life. Zheng Guogong cherishes his reputation after death, and so do others. Who cares about him? Traffickers and pawns are still emperors and generals! 'Zheng Guogong was thoughtful after hearing this..."
His Majesty Li Er was stunned.
What does this mean?
This is to dissuade Wei Zheng. You cherish your posthumous reputation, and the emperor also cherishes it! You have recorded your advice over the years and made it public for the sake of your posthumous reputation, but have you ever thought about what will happen to His Majesty’s posthumous reputation?
Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. How could you harm the emperor for your own sake?
His Majesty Li Er glanced at Fang Jun. This boy was smiling and calm. He should not lie, so...
"Chu Suiliang, tell me, how did you dissuade Wei Zheng from changing his mind?"
His Majesty Li Er looked gloomy and stared at Chu Suiliang.
Didn't you say that it was you who persuaded Wei Zheng to change his mind?
But it was clearly because of what Fang Jun said to Wei Zheng that Wei Zheng suddenly came to his senses and changed his mind!
Dare you lie to me?
"Poof!"
Chu Suiliang's liver and gallbladder were split, and he was sweating profusely. He shouted: "Your Majesty has learned clearly! I don't dare to lie. I did persuade Duke Zheng..."
"In other words, you did persuade him, but the reason why Wei Zheng changed his mind was not because of your advice?"
Chu Suiliang did not dare to quibble, so he tapped his head on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, forgive me..."
He regretted it so much that he almost cut out his tongue with a knife!
Why are you talking nonsense?
Why are you greedy for merit?
Why didn't you expect that Wei Zheng changed his mind because of Fang Jun's dissuasion?
Now it's better, the credit is not there, but it has angered His Majesty. There is no hope of promotion, maybe I will have to fight to the end...
Fang Jun is so bad!
Even if it was you who persuaded Wei Zheng, it wouldn't do you any good to say it here? It's simply a model of harming others without benefiting oneself, just here to trick yourself!
Chu Suiliang regretted it endlessly. How could it happen that it was Fang Jun who dissuaded Wei Zheng?
His Majesty Li Er's expression changed and he suppressed his anger.
The Tang Dynasty did not say that words caused death, nor would they be punished for words. Although Chu Suiliang deceived him, he also believed that Chu Suiliang must have seriously dissuaded Wei Zheng, but he failed to dissuade him. Now that Fang Jun had dissuaded Wei Zheng from changing his mind, Chu Suiliang pretended to take the credit without knowing the inside story.
It's a combination of circumstances and it's not going to be easy to deal with.
What's more, this guy's handwriting is really good, I can't bear to send it out...
Fang Jun glanced at His Majesty Li Er's face and said quietly to the side: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Since Zheng Guogong has already regretted this matter, it is not appropriate to publicize it. As for Qi Ju Lang... it is actually true. Wei Chen believes that even if Zheng Guogong does not change, He will also submit the manuscript of Zheng Guogong to His Majesty, Mr. Qi, don’t you think so?”
Chu Suiliang really wanted to jump up and point at Fang Jun’s nose and curse——
I'll fuck your mother-in-law!
You kid has a bad conscience. Even if I was wrong first, how can you be so thorough in adding insult to injury?
How do you want me to answer this question?
I said yes, that would be betraying Wei Zheng and being ungrateful. The kindness of knowing and meeting each other and the unrequited friendship for many years are all bullshit;
I said no, that would be colluding with Wei Zheng to deceive His Majesty, betraying His Majesty’s trust and love, and allowing Wei Zheng to smear His Majesty but remain indifferent...
Chu Sui's conscience was so confused that he didn't know what to do.
I felt so regretful that my intestines were green. The root of all the mistakes was that I should not have accepted Wei Zheng's manuscript in the first place. Even if I offended Wei Zheng at that time, I could at least please His Majesty.
Now we are no longer human inside and out, no matter how we go, it will be wrong... (End of chapter)
